Christie Koehler 3913db9022 docs: Simplify hierarchy of dev setup docs.
Based on feedback from first-time contributors, this commit simplifies
the number of paths available for finding the dev setup directions you
need. Setup instructions are now organized into Recommended (Vagrant)
and Advanced (non-Vagrant).

In order to get the ToC to display correctly, I've combined all the
advanced, non-Vagrant methods into one page. I've left the old pages
intact, with a note that the content has been moved and link to the new
page. This is in case folks have linked directly to those pages.

The advanced setup directions still need to be cleaned up, but this is a
start.

We aim to consolidate developer documentation on Read The Docs. As a
start, this commit turns the first part of README.dev.md into a topic
page within /docs/ , and links to it from the doc index.

See #669.

Sumana Harihareswara e0bc57ddb1 Rearrange docs table of contents for coherence.
The order and structure of the Read The Docs documentation
was fairly arbitrary; here's a suggestion for how to change
its information architecture so it's more useful to a new
contributor. This adds a short Zulip overview, and a table
of contents and code contribution intro for new contributors.

Fixes: #668.

Christie Koehler e06492ec3a Improve first-time contributor docs.
Fixes #747. Fixes #748.

This updates README.dev.md to include clear, step-by-step instructions
for setting up the Zulip dev environment Windows 10, OS X El Capitan,
Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty, and Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial. It is aimed at first-time
contributors.

I tested these instructions multiple times on each of the target
systems.

Also added is a "trobleshooting and common errors" section which
documents the most common errors contributors are likely to encounter
during setup and how to fix them.

Improvements based on feedback from @timabbott.

- Fixes whitespace issues so linter will pass.
- Updates memory requirement.
- Re-orders so operating systems are listed alphabetically.
- Updates headings to be clearer.
- Updates and adds ToC entries for clarity.
- Adds screen shot of Zulip dev environment running in browser.
- Adds details about using dev environment, including about logging.
- Misc other minor changes for clarity.
- Adds a stub for docs/logging.md
- Adds details about configuring Cygwin for native symlinks.
